Quite simply, ''Mountains Beyond Mountains'' is a book you should read. It's not smug and self-satisfied, it's not poverty and suffering porn, it's not predictable. It's genuinely touching, inspiring and excellently written. Highly recommended.
My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder]].
[[Murder in the Latin Quarter (Aimee Leduc) by Cara Black]] is set in Haiti and is an excellent read. Although we've not reviewed it, {{amazonurl|isbn=0099478374|title=The Comedians by Graham Greene}} is a must for anyone interested in Haiti's history. [[The Shock of the Old by David Edgerton]] and [[Heart of Darfur by Lisa French Blaker]] are also must-reads. You might also appreciate [[The Big Truck That Went By by Jonathan M Katz]].
